Daring Easy To Learn With Huge Potential 

I really enjoy the British silver DD's. With their low speed and good concealment, they force you into fights, but they have a tool for pretty much every fight they can get into. Daring isn't just the ship's name, it's the instruction manual for playing it.

The short smokes are good, although they can catch you out if you're not paying attention, similarly the main limitation of daring is slow speed, which makes it hard to escape if you mes up or get pushed by something fast. It is one of my favourite dds but I do think you need to be careful against ragnars etc. the main thing about it for me is the flexiblity, torps are good (unlike smaland etc.) guns are good, hydro protects you against torps. Great line from Icarus up one of my favourite lines for ranked.

I used to believe that dd's are all about torps .... But once I got to learn the gun boat way .... Oh man it's one of the most rewarding things in WOWS ....

Great line of DDs from Icarus upwards. Can't remember any lower than that! Daring seems to be surving well against the constant power creep

Just got Daring yesterday. I used to hate Jutland but then really got into a groove with her. Daring is a huge step up. Really liking her. Basically, no major weak points for this ship.

Thanks for this video. When I first started this game I had seen videos of stealth Japanese torpedo boats. This was my goal, but it soon became apparent that I was not rally a DD player. After seeing this I decided to give it one more chance. Right now I am only up to the Jervise. That was such a step up from the previous level and if the Daring is a similar step up I can hardly wait.

Love RN dd's really enjoyed the line especially from tier 8 up so much my first research bureau ship was Druid and man she's a beast!

Daring has served me well through many CB. Its my go to ship of choice

Love my Daring, and with the Cossack as a trainer, its just gold

I think the over committing is directly related to this stay back and play passive meta. You finally start actually having fun in the game so you chase it down to keep fun, and wham! You throw.

Darings fuse is just as short as most other dds (Kleber/Elbing having longer fuse). However, its arming threshold is 19mm so the ap arms on dd hulls. Akizuki-Harugumo also have a low threshold so i highly recommend using it against dd hulls at

Wishing my 1st T10 had been Daring instead of Shima. I learned to play T10 in the Shima as a DD main who is newer to the game and my W/L % shows it. But I have improved to the point that I am the call-maker for a Storm tier clan and was even carrying in a few of our wins this week. Up to the T7 in the Daring line, just gotta make time to get there.

Daring's hydro is an amazing support tool as well.

Great DD. AP does some series Dpm vs other dds

What would you get with the last 2 commander points? I am deciding between demo expert and extra AP damage. Nice video btw, just got my daring one hour ago so perfect timing.

Having hydro on a DD is really good! I wish the US line had it. Working my way up the HMS line currently. I too enjoy the gun boat DD’s. o7 PQ!

Im of the same opinion that the British DD's on balance are the best in the game. I'm up to Jutland at the moment and looking forward to get my Daring at some point

daring was my 1st t10 and still love it in CB's now. just solid, and the ST torps can end bb's pushing on you.

i´m actually grinding the line and tomorrow will finishing it. I was looking for a video about the daring 2 days a go. what a great timing dude. thanks a lot!

Ah, Daring, my favorite DD around with just everything I can do around, like carrying games around because of her kit. In convoy she's extremely funny to play, because you can't have something better than you in front (the 2nd biggest problem of convoy, the biggest being that when you're alongside the convoy, you have to push, which is problematic with how the game is, basically) and to scout in front of those slow liberty ships. I remember 2 convoy game on the same map (the one named bees to honey) and on each time I spawned on the right flank (aka near where there's supposed to be the brawling cap and the convoy destination). First game I was in the "escorting" part, but without liberty ships. I got rushed down with my mate who was in a Hindenburg by : Schliffen, Preussen, Elbing, Salem. The Schliffen backed quite quickly somehow and then the Preussen rushed me down while the Elbing sent down torps, which are scary because they're slow and long range. So, the Preussen went down but my butt was clenched until I popped a smoke with the Salem flat broadside to me. Let's just say that he didn't lived long enough to keep pushing us (yes the hunting team pushed the defending team, which is a mistake with how the game is designed) and finally the Elbing, poor guy was sitting flat broadside to me, in the gap and he like the Salem vanished to my AP (Daring is actually the biggest counter to Elbing, with her excellent AP DPM and the hydroacoustic search) and he vanished like the Salem. And because they lost 3 ships and we finally pushed down the team and winning the game. The same day, but on the hunting part of it I spawned on the same flank again, and got a Napoli sitting at like 9 KM and he eat a conga line because that's something Daring and all British torpedoes can do, is being individually dropped and make what is called a conga line by stacking them all right behind the one before them, allowing to suppress nose in targets. Once he was gone, tried the same with a Petro but because of Pinnacle soviet engineering, it was so narrow that I didn't hit any torpedoes (especially when compared to other CA, only Zao, Des Moines and Henri are thinner) yet managed to win the game by preventing a push from the flank (also finished in the top 3 for that game)

gearing was my first t10, honestly , I can say daring and gearing are my favorite dds , since I'm a dd main

In addition to being able to start a lot of fires, the HE also has a tendency to break a ton of shit on dd's. I've had several occasions where a dd I just killed commented about constantly being lit on fire and having torps, engines, and guns broken during a 10-20s engagement. It's a great ship.

Daring my favorite ship in the game. Over 600 matches and managing 100k dmg average. Great guns. Good heals. Very usable torps especially when you can land a konga line. Synergizes very well with Cunningham for even more extra healing potential.

just got it but the Jutland was great for ranked this season

❤️those 360 degree turrets 🥰

I like the Brit boats also. I recommend the American and Brit line dd's to all new players, I think they are the easiest lines to be successful in. Late tier Japanese boats are amazing too but a bit of a grind getting to the real fantastic boats. If I had to recommend one line for a newbie I would go American just because there really is not a single dud in the line. I entered the brit line at Icarus I think so I didn't play or don't remember anything before that. The other lines are amazing also but you need some understanding to be successful and consistent with them and it takes some time to get the feel of them when your new.

the british dd line is excellent but they really start to shine with the T8 Lightning. the T8, 9 and 10 are outstanding.

Not to mention even if you unlock the other gunboats, it remains one of the most fun among them to play. To be fair I haven't found any of the gunboat DDs disappointing, but I still enjoy playing Daring the most.

Been playing triple Daring divs with my clan mates after CB and my karma has tanked big time as we have been wrecking nearly every game we play. The Daring is hilarious to play and as PQ said, it is the best DD to get first as I did. The duking ability is pretty nuts and the guns are very easy to use. It's biggest weakness is the lack of speed, hence why its not played much in competative. I play the Z-52 in CB as its fast and has insane torp reload and the AP is a monster, but the Daring is not far behind.

The Daring is my absolute favourite with ~69% WR. Its perfectly flexible and can adapt against all threats. CVs, agressive engagements or defensive escapes. Its in no category perfect but in all about 80% well so you can adapt to all situations paired with solid tools.

This ship is so good, it should be premium. I would even call it better than Vampire II

been in so many games lately were the team had a sure win and ended up losing. everyone starts thinking to themselves "it's a sure win so if i push a little more and get more damage and i die it's no big deal". next thing you know everyone had the same thought and you lost. had a game we were up 3 caps to 1, up 800 points to 300, and had an 8 to 5 ship advantage. but everyone just kept going in one after the other to be focused and die till we lost. no team players left, it's all about "ME" and "MY" score. they think being the top loser makes it not their fault the game was lost.

I got a team yesterday that lemminged to one side and the just stayed at the back, never firing at enemy cuniberti once. Also cv kept dropping fighters on me. Very frustrating!

Daring is the swiss knife of DD. Jack of all with balanced drawbacks.

Ah I thought this clip will be about Vampire since it was in thumbnail.

So when are you gonna get the Druid then?

Daring CPT POV: A fresh cup of tea steeps, you sit up quickly as you join your instant queue game. You forget about the poor top speed as it's not an issue to you because you are a gunboat. The start timer ends while Push It to the Limit plays simultaneously. After reaching the B point for a quick capture, you quench your thirst with the fresh tea. As you set down your cup, you see it. Regalo SAP Shells land and penetrate with a disgusting grouping, 8 rounds hit and see the 4000 HP instantly removed, you get drawn in. Within minutes you are back at port wondering why the fuck you grinded out the British Destroyers, and decide what to play next.

Moskva is good enough against DDs in brawl, 1vs.1. Good radar, and pushing at different speeds even some backward but going streight to them is a killer. Avoiding close contact. I used HE shells, I received a lot of fire, but if you don't expose broadside, it's fine, almost fireproof. Easy meal. :))

With DDs like the F. Sherman, the Daring need to go hide and let the storm pass.

I feel like the harugumo is the forgoten gunboat, nobody talks about it when gunboats are the topic

I really hate t=o see this ship on my flank. This is the line I'm working on now. I'm that average player who tends to often have exceptional games in excess of 180k damage. I think I'll do fairly well in this ship. Great video as always.

I dont' play much T10. mainly because I feel that the XP is just wasted when playing them, also... credit earning is better at T9.

What about the Vampire 2?

since Icarus, all british DDs are badass. Multi smokes, powerfull and a lot of torpedoes... nether the less firestarters guns. Awesome tiny warships.

Absolutely correct as far as easy-ish to learn, high reward potential, and quality thruout the line. The jutland used to be my #1 DD(advantage over the daring being .3km better detect). Then the vampire came along! Only thing it doesn't do as well as daring is torp. No question, its the best DD hunting DD in game!

I almost exclusively use AP on Daring against other DDs until I'm bouncing every shot, because most of the time they will be forced to go broadside to attempt to trade better with you by using all their guns or just turning to run away. It took me some time to get used to it, since it has 6km concealment, but Daring is a ton of fun to play when you're given even the smallest opportunity to let loose.

You know the feeling when you are sitting in a public transport and two people sharing an Internet meme that came up in 1995 but they just discovered it for the first time, meanwhile nobody ever uses MSN Messengers where they found it for a decade but they don't even know it. That's how I feel about this video upload.

First! I run my Daring as a DD hunter: PM, LS, SE, CE, AR, RPF, SI, IFA, with Cunningham at the helm. Quite strong for that role and a great ship.

Daring is such a great learning platform... and very strong, singularly strong against subs...

What mods are you using?

imho, for typical DD stuff, Daring is the best DD. And i don't even have it xD

Personally I like Lightning better but Daring is really good too. Lightning has a 5.5 detect and in my mind is the best sub hunter in the game. Lightning is 'very" maneuverable and relatively small and thus can kite fight away when radared. No heal and virtually no AA hurts but it hard to hit even with aircraft. I rarely use AP because it lights fires so well. Daring is an awesome DD though and is very fun to play in any battle type. I love them both very much!

My ASIA account has rudiculous WR with yhe ship, I think it is 90% out of 20 battles. This ship was an easy first line in my EU account

I mean yes the smoke is nice but a decent marcue with a keyboard and knows how to dodge is more frustrating to deal with you can never hit him and when you do you do so little damage and if you get a good hit in AR starts melting you back

I had a hard time playing against the Vamp II when I was in my Daring.

How the hell are you shooting at those ships without aiming at them?

I'm hopless at the Daring always manage to get myself in the wrong spot. A few radar ships make your life hell.

I feel like halland can deal with any tech tree DD the best if not one of the best

USE AP AGAINST DDS, IT IS MORE CONSISTENT THEM U THINK

only daring has heal though the rest of the line doesent I think

And it has 360 degree turrets

And I idiot grinded Mogador instead of Jutland... lol

Today you say that it's a good ship, tomorrow I grind towards it and just after I finally get it, WG nerfs the crap out of it...

Seps name lolol

7:46 So this means that... Ragnar is inherently underpowered. It lacks the necessary attributes to make meaningful impact on match result. No burst damage to speak of, split turrets, and yet still retains a fragile platform. I would take 1 Conqueror..Thunderer or 1 DM or even 1 of just about any CA over 2 Ragnars on my team any day of the week. Now... If WG gave it the specialized repair party of the Nestrashimy ( and 1 more base charge)... And maybe a few more thousand HP if could make up for where it is seriously lacking

None of the British lines are bad

That's a Vampire II in the Thumpnail, not a Daring...

Halland is best.

German DDs crying in a corner "We did HYDRO FIRST! and FAST RELOADING TORPS! Why does no one play us?!" at least they have good HE PEN even if the damage is super low.

For me, Jutland works, daring does not...

And at the end...planes fly around for 5 min...wtf is that logic.

Disgusting DDs like CVs but worse
